Rated R Storylines 5/27/168/31/2010 - Alrighty, well I just got back home today after a week in Florida. Took the family to the parks and had a blast. Anyway I just wanted to talk about a few things before I put up the storylines. First off I just wanted to say that whether you like them or utterly hate them, the storylines are going to keep coming. So my suggestion is that if you hate them and all your going to do is skip over reading them and piss and moan and talk about how boring they are and what not, save yourself the time and energy and forget about commenting. It really makes no difference to me. Secondly to anyone who wants to bitch about my columns, I suggest that you stop bitching and ask to be one yourself. Which I\'m sure none of you will because the ones who bitch don\'t even blog at all so they really have no room to talk. But just to let ya know, I\'m one of three columnists, and I\'m the only one who actually does a column so if you wanna bitch about poor columnists bitch about the others who never even do it. You know it doesn\'t bother me at all for someone who actually participates in the site to come on and tell me I did a terrible job, what does annoy me is when people who come on and never write(blog) anything, never comment on wrestling, and only comment to disagree with everyone come on and give me flack. So again your bitching wont persuade me to stop putting these things up so why bother? Thirdly I put these things up because I love wrestling, I love the WWE, I\'ve been a fan for over a decade and I will be one for the remainder of my life. What pisses me off is that they have become so lousy over the last few years and only continue to get worst. These storylines are what I would do, instead of what they\'re doing. I think the people who come on here and bitch about the product but offer no solution or no insight on what would make it better are plain stupid. Anyone who sits here and tells me they wont even take the time to read it because its boring or too long and than sits through RAW and pisses and moans about it is freaking retarded. I don\'t mean to be a dick but why are you sitting through a 2 hour long show that you hate but you can\'t take ten minutes to read these storylines which are basically what your saying they should do? I treat the Tag Team division, the womens division, the cruiserweight division as important. I get everyone on the show, I have tons of feuds, and ten times the amount of wrestling that they do. I\'m not saying my storylines are the greatest things ever but anything and I mean anything is better than the crap on TV these days. I actually welcome anyone to post their own storylines and I\'d love to read them. The people on here who never blog and hardly ever comment, and when they do put up stupid one sentence comments that don\'t have anything to do with wrestling are idiotic. What are you on this site for? I would think that the people who come on this site, come on it because they are \"WRESTLING\" fans... or am I just stupid to think that? Why bother coming on the site if you have no intention of discussing wrestling? I\'m not going to say that I don\'t understand why you come on here... because its fairly obvious your crying out for attention but why? Who needs to come on to a site and start shit with people to get attention? Anyway, enough of my bitching. For those of you who have ten minutes to read, I hope you enjoy. For those of you who don\'t read it but have the time to leave an idiotic comment, I hope you enjoy yourselves as well, because its probably one of the few pleasures you have in life. 1. A recap is shown of last Sunday\'s Judgment Day PPV. (5:00 minutes) 2. Randy Orton & The Pure-Breds come to the ring Orton talks about how at Judgment Day he defeated Shane McMahon he was the last man standing and Shane McMahon had to be taken backstage on a Stretcher at Judgment Day I was the Judge, Jury, & Executioner and I took him out with one swift kick to the Skull... and the same thing will happen to anyone else who gets in my way Stephanie McMahon comes out on stage and looks mad as Orton smirks in the ring Stephanie says that at Judgment Day Randy Orton proved one thing to her that hes not a human being hes nothing more than a piece of shit Randy says Stephanie Stephanie Stephanie theres no reason for that kind of language Stephanie says shut up Randy just shut your mouth you may be smiling now but I promise you when I\'m done you wont be smiling anymore...

AS I SEE IT 8/308/30/2010 - AS I SEE IT Bob Magee Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets PWBTS.com To the stalker who\'s been spending time lately sending me e-mails from new and different e-mail addresses, keep having fun; and a thought: If I\'m all thse things you claim, tell me...who\'s more pathetic? Me...or you, spending your time sending me crap from new and different real (or spoofed) Hotmail, AOL, Gmail and AIM addresses? From last week\'s thoughts on Linda McMahon\'s \"I might have met him once\" response to a question about Lance Cade; and my opinion that the comment was unfeeling as hell at best and a deliberate attempt to steer attention yet again from anything to do with her business experience at WWE at worst... Harley McNaught, Lance Cade\'s father, essentially called Ms. McMahon a liar in an August 26 interview with the Connecticut Sun: \"I\'ve been with him on two different WWE functions where she came up to him and knew him by name...\"She disrespected him...She disrespected my family.\" The article also discussed WWE\'s plausible deniability strategy regarding steroids and specific comments made to Cade. No one in WWE will ever tell someone specifically to take steroids or HGH...but keep making it clear that one\'s push depends on having the right body type, a body type usually possible with steroid use. As McNaught stated in the article (quoting his late son): \"\'It was right in front of the (announcer\'s) desk at the (Louisville, Ky.) Davis Arena,\' he said, referring to a conversation with unnamed other wrestlers that year. \'And our little talk was, \'Lance, you\'re going to have to make the decision if you want to change your body, if you know what I mean, or keep going through this.\' And that\'s when I made the decision, and in six weeks - go look at the ... tapes. ... From January of \'03, fast forward to March of \'03 and look at the change in my body.\'\" The passing of Luna Vachon this past weekend hasn\'t helped the McMahon campaign either, in again focusing on WWE\'s wrestlers dying from drug and life issues resulting from working in the wrestling business. Vachon\'s death is especially sad, given what many have said about her as a person. Whatever the autopsy stated, the odds are that Vachon pretty much died of a broken heart after her home was burned to the ground, and all her wrestling memorabilia gone with it. I remember quite a few years ago, when Joel Goodhart brought in Vachon and the Blackhearts and did a Q&A prior to her appearance at his show. I asked her what it felt like to be an actual woman wrestler when most American fans think of woman\'s wrestling as a T&A show (remember this is a time when people were just discovering Japanese women\'s wrestling, which in the early 1990s was on a higher level than most men\'s wrestling). She seemed to get a particular kick out of the remark. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family. As I indicated I\'d mention, on Friday, September 10 (note the special date, no doubt done to allow fans to attend the September 11 EVOLVE Rahway, NJ afternoon show...Bryan Danielson\'s last East Coast independent date...and the Ring of Honor Glory by Honor PPV TV taping thaty evening at the Manhattan Center), Combat Zone Wrestling will present its annual \"Down With the Sickness\" Chris Cash Memorial Show at the ECW Arena. Announced thus far: CZW World Championship Jon Moxley vs. Scotty Vortekz Aerial Assault Match Chuck Taylor vs. Ricochet vs. A.R. Fox vs. Facade vs. Alex Colon vs. tHURTeen CZW World Tag Team Title Tournament Opening Round Team Macktion vs. Irish Driveby (Ryan McBride and Rich Swann) The debut of Johnny Gargano Until next time...

I\'m assuming Danielson getting jumped by The Nexus and smacked on the head and left laying is so that he can finish the independent dates he\'s previously contracted for and is still doing; including shows with New York Wrestling Connection and EVOLVE on the east coast; plus Insanity Pro Wrestling and Dragon Gate USA in the Midwest. Ring of Honor just has its TV tapings this past wekeend in Philadelphia with William \"Delirious\" Johnson as the new booker, taking over from Adam Pearce. Noticable immediately was the absent of the DQ parade that seemed to be a feature in so many Ring of Honor matches. The show saw clean finishes and no out of line screw finishes. Especially featured on this taping seem to be The House of Truth faction with Truth Martini fronting Josh Raymond, Roderick Strong, and Christin Able. For those who don\'t know about Martini, he runs tht House of Truth Wrestling School in the Detroit area, which counts Zach Gowen, Alex Shelley, and Jimmy Jacobs among its alumni. Some good to excellent matches to watch for (for those of you who CAN watch it, depsite promises Comcast still doesn\'t have HDNet on in South Jersey) in upcoming weeks (no spoilers here) are Austin Aries- Delirious (cage match), Kenny King-Eddie Edwards (TV title match with a storyline twist), Davey Richards-El Generico, Kevin Steen/Steve Corino-El Generico/Colt Cabana (cage match), Christopher Daniels-Roderick Strong, Davey Richards-Tyler Black (in Black\'s TV swan song), and Chris Hero/Claudio Castagnoli- Briscoe Brothers. Then, there\'s Linda McMahon almost unforgivable response to a question about Lance Cade just after his death from what has been referred to as \"heart disease\": \"I might have met him once\". Then, when Chris Nowinski was critical of the comment, WWE attempted to claim that Lance Cade was \"a total stranger\" to Nowinski. Note to WWE: you can pick your opinions, but you can\'t pick your facts. Here are the facts regarding Nowinski and Lance Cade: Cade and Nowinski started together in WWE at around the same time and were also at one point were tag team partners in Ohio Valley Wrestling, with Cade eventually settling into his more well-known tag teams with Mark Jindrak and Trevor Murdoch. At best, Linda McMahon\'s comment was unfeeling as hell. At worst, it was an deliberate attempt to steer attention yet again from anything to do with her business experience at WWE...the very experience that she\'s used as her qualifications to be the Republican noominee for US Senate in Connecticut. In other words, it\'s OK when said experience is a positive..but when it\'s being used for criticism, McMahon doesn\'t want to discuss it. This and sadly, other deaths of current or former WWE talent that will likely occur between now and November will keep coming back to haunt her, especially if these deaths are again from young men and women in their 20s and 30s. As I indicated I\'d mention, on Friday, September 10 (note the special date, no doubt done to allow fans to attend the September 11 EVOLVE Rahway, NJ afternoon show...Bryan Danielson\'s last East Coast independent date...and the Ring of Honor Glory by Honor PPV TV taping thaty evening at the Manhattan Center), Combat Zone Wrestling will present its annual \"Down With the Sickness\" Chris Cash Memorial Show at the ECW Arena.

(1:15 minutes) 12. Rome, King, & Cole hype up tonight\'s Main Event whe... AS I SEE IT 8/158/17/2010 - AS I SEE IT Bob Magee Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets PWBTS.com Well, Vince McMahon undid his biggest mistake of the last year last night as Bryan Danielson returned to WWE as the seventh members that we all thought (yup, me too) would be HHH who would then turn on WWE as the head of The Nexus. More on that next week... It was back on August 18, 2005, that CZW wrestler Christopher \"Chri$ Ca$h\" Bauman Jr. was killed as the result of a motorcycle accident near his home. Bauman had been riding a motorcycle on Ellis Street in Glassboro, NJ when a Ford Taurus turned in front of it from Higgins Drive, striking the car on the driver\'s side of a vehicle driven by Daisy Gwin of Glassboro, NJ. Christopher J. Bauman Jr., 23, died at the scene, as did his cousin 27 year old Jeremy Bauman, 27, of Franklinville, NJ the driver of the motorcycle. Gwin, 68, of Glassboro, died en route to Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Washington Township, NJ. Chris was always genuinely friendly in a way that a lot of wrestlers aren\'t, but had the wild side we all had at age 23. He was a nice young man, in every sense that the phrase used to mean; and always felt obligated to call me \"Mr. Magee\" when I came to a show (even when I told him he didn\'t have to), would always say hello when I saw him at a CZW show and tell me he\'d seen something or another on my PWBTS.com site. Bauman worked for CZW from 2001 through 2005, with many non-CZW fans even taking notice of him at Cage of Death 5 in his absolutely psychotic ladder match with Blackout\'s Joker (who left the promotion shortly afterwards to serve in the US military over in Iraq). The oddest thing is that this match wasn\'t even supposed to happen in the way that it did; as it was originally scheduled as a tag team bout, involving Deranged and Azriael, who were working the Jersey All Pro Wrestling show in Rahway, NJ, then come down to Philadelphia for CZW. But in an almost unprecedented moment for those who know CZW... the show was actually running ahead of schedule. As a result, Deranged and Azriael were not yet at the building. Another version of the story had the two calling the building, telling CZW they were just leaving...and were told not to bother, because they\'d never make it in time. In any event, this forced the promotion to go ahead with a singles ladder match, which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened, as it made two stars for CZW in one night with Cash and Joker nearly stealing the entire show. Psycho spots in this match included Cash bulldogging Joker while his head was inside a rung of a ladder off the ropes onto a chair, a top rope superplex onto a ladder stuck at a 45 degree angle into the rungs of another ladder; ending with one of the sickest spots I\'ve ever seen in my years of shows at the ECW Arena, as Joker hit his Joker Driver (tiger driver from an electric chair position) off the top of a high ladder with Cash through a table for the pin. Cash also main evented Cage of Death 6/War Games, as part of the babyface Team Ca$h (Nate Webb, Sexxy Eddy, Cash, JC Bailey) against heel team (turned babyface and heel again) Blackout (Ruckus, Sabian, Kingston, and Jack Evans. As usual, the match featured the daredevil spots for which Cash was known throughout his all-too-short career; including dumping Jack Evans via backdrop off the COD to the floor, and giving Sabian a Cashflow off of the scaffold through four tables, landing in the second row of the ECW Arena. All I could think when I heard the news was: God...Chris was easily young enough to be my son. Sons aren\'t supposed to die before the parents...or their contemporaries. At the same time, I can\'t imagine Chris as a 40 or 50 year old. His spirit was too free and wild to have ever been anything but young. In Chris\'s memory, Combat Zone Wrestling will present \"Down with the Sickness\" Chris Ca$h Memorial Show on Friday, September 10.with an 8:00 pm belltime. One match has been announced for the show: an Aerial Assault ladder match with the returning Church Taylor, Ricochet and Facade among those scheduled. I\'ll have other matches for this show over the next few weeks. Until next time...

Vachon\'s death is especially sad, given what many have said about her as a person. Whatever the autopsy stated, the odds are that Vachon pretty much died of a broken heart after her home was burned to the ground, and all her wrestling memorabilia gone with it. I remember quite a few years ago, when Joel Goodhart brought in Vachon and the Blackhearts and did a Q&A prior to her appearance at his show. I asked her what it felt like to be an actual woman wrestler when most American fans think of woman\'s wrestling as a T&A show (remember this is a time when people were just discovering Japanese women\'s wrestling, which in the early 1990s was on a higher level than most men\'s wrestling). She seemed to get a particular kick out of the remark. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family. As I indicated I\'d mention, on Friday, September 10 (note the special date, no doubt done to allow fans to attend the September 11 EVOLVE Rahway, NJ afternoon show...Bryan Danielson\'s last East Coast independent date...and the Ring of Honor Glory by Honor PPV TV taping thaty evening at the Manhattan Center), Combat Zone Wrestling will present its annual \"Down With the Sickness\" Chris Cash Memorial Show at the ECW Arena.

Ring of Honor just has its TV tapings this past wekeend in Philadelphia with William \"Delirious\" Johnson as the new booker, taking over from Adam Pearce. Noticable immediately was the absent of the DQ parade that seemed to be a feature in so many Ring of Honor matches. The show saw clean finishes and no out of line screw finishes. Especially featured on this taping seem to be The House of Truth faction with Truth Martini fronting Josh Raymond, Roderick Strong, and Christin Able. For those who don\'t know about Martini, he runs tht House of Truth Wrestling School in the Detroit area, which counts Zach Gowen, Alex Shelley, and Jimmy Jacobs among its alumni. Some good to excellent matches to watch for (for those of you who CAN watch it, depsite promises Comcast still doesn\'t have HDNet on in South Jersey) in upcoming weeks (no spoilers here) are Austin Aries- Delirious (cage match), Kenny King-Eddie Edwards (TV title match with a storyline twist), Davey Richards-El Generico, Kevin Steen/Steve Corino-El Generico/Colt Cabana (cage match), Christopher Daniels-Roderick Strong, Davey Richards-Tyler Black (in Black\'s TV swan song), and Chris Hero/Claudio Castagnoli- Briscoe Brothers. Then, there\'s Linda McMahon almost unforgivable response to a question about Lance Cade just after his death from what has been referred to as \"heart disease\": \"I might have met him once\". Then, when Chris Nowinski was critical of the comment, WWE attempted to claim that Lance Cade was \"a total stranger\" to Nowinski. Note to WWE: you can pick your opinions, but you can\'t pick your facts. Here are the facts regarding Nowinski and Lance Cade: Cade and Nowinski started together in WWE at around the same time and were also at one point were tag team partners in Ohio Valley Wrestling, with Cade eventually settling into his more well-known tag teams with Mark Jindrak and Trevor Murdoch. At best, Linda McMahon\'s comment was unfeeling as hell. At worst, it was an deliberate attempt to steer attention yet again from anything to do with her business experience at WWE...the very experience that she\'s used as her qualifications to be the Republican noominee for US Senate in Connecticut. In other words, it\'s OK when said experience is a positive..but when it\'s being used for criticism, McMahon doesn\'t want to discuss it. This and sadly, other deaths of current or former WWE talent that will likely occur between now and November will keep coming back to haunt her, especially if these deaths are again from young men and women in their 20s and 30s.

AS I SEE IT 8/158/17/2010 - AS I SEE IT Bob Magee Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets PWBTS.com Well, Vince McMahon undid his biggest mistake of the last year last night as Bryan Danielson returned to WWE as the seventh members that we all thought (yup, me too) would be HHH who would then turn on WWE as the head of The Nexus. More on that next week... It was back on August 18, 2005, that CZW wrestler Christopher \"Chri$ Ca$h\" Bauman Jr. was killed as the result of a motorcycle accident near his home. Bauman had been riding a motorcycle on Ellis Street in Glassboro, NJ when a Ford Taurus turned in front of it from Higgins Drive, striking the car on the driver\'s side of a vehicle driven by Daisy Gwin of Glassboro, NJ. Christopher J. Bauman Jr., 23, died at the scene, as did his cousin 27 year old Jeremy Bauman, 27, of Franklinville, NJ the driver of the motorcycle. Gwin, 68, of Glassboro, died en route to Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Washington Township, NJ. Chris was always genuinely friendly in a way that a lot of wrestlers aren\'t, but had the wild side we all had at age 23. He was a nice young man, in every sense that the phrase used to mean; and always felt obligated to call me \"Mr. Magee\" when I came to a show (even when I told him he didn\'t have to), would always say hello when I saw him at a CZW show and tell me he\'d seen something or another on my PWBTS.com site. Bauman worked for CZW from 2001 through 2005, with many non-CZW fans even taking notice of him at Cage of Death 5 in his absolutely psychotic ladder match with Blackout\'s Joker (who left the promotion shortly afterwards to serve in the US military over in Iraq). The oddest thing is that this match wasn\'t even supposed to happen in the way that it did; as it was originally scheduled as a tag team bout, involving Deranged and Azriael, who were working the Jersey All Pro Wrestling show in Rahway, NJ, then come down to Philadelphia for CZW. But in an almost unprecedented moment for those who know CZW... the show was actually running ahead of schedule. As a result, Deranged and Azriael were not yet at the building. Another version of the story had the two calling the building, telling CZW they were just leaving...and were told not to bother, because they\'d never make it in time. In any event, this forced the promotion to go ahead with a singles ladder match, which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened, as it made two stars for CZW in one night with Cash and Joker nearly stealing the entire show. Psycho spots in this match included Cash bulldogging Joker while his head was inside a rung of a ladder off the ropes onto a chair, a top rope superplex onto a ladder stuck at a 45 degree angle into the rungs of another ladder; ending with one of the sickest spots I\'ve ever seen in my years of shows at the ECW Arena, as Joker hit his Joker Driver (tiger driver from an electric chair position) off the top of a high ladder with Cash through a table for the pin. Cash also main evented Cage of Death 6/War Games, as part of the babyface Team Ca$h (Nate Webb, Sexxy Eddy, Cash, JC Bailey) against heel team (turned babyface and heel again) Blackout (Ruckus, Sabian, Kingston, and Jack Evans. As usual, the match featured the daredevil spots for which Cash was known throughout his all-too-short career; including dumping Jack Evans via backdrop off the COD to the floor, and giving Sabian a Cashflow off of the scaffold through four tables, landing in the second row of the ECW Arena. All I could think when I heard the news was: God...Chris was easily young enough to be my son. Sons aren\'t supposed to die before the parents...or their contemporaries. At the same time, I can\'t imagine Chris as a 40 or 50 year old. His spirit was too free and wild to have ever been anything but young. In Chris\'s memory, Combat Zone Wrestling will present \"Down with the Sickness\" Chris Ca$h Memorial Show on Friday, September 10.with an 8:00 pm belltime. One match has been announced for the show: an Aerial Assault ladder match with the returning Church Taylor, Ricochet and Facade among those scheduled. I\'ll have other matches for this show over the next few weeks. Until next time...

No one in WWE will ever tell someone specifically to take steroids or HGH...but keep making it clear that one\'s push depends on having the right body type, a body type usually possible with steroid use. As McNaught stated in the article (quoting his late son): \"\'It was right in front of the (announcer\'s) desk at the (Louisville, Ky.)

Here are the facts regarding Nowinski and Lance Cade: Cade and Nowinski started together in WWE at around the same time and were also at one point were tag team partners in Ohio Valley Wrestling, with Cade eventually settling into his more well-known tag teams with Mark Jindrak and Trevor Murdoch.
At best, Linda McMahon\'s comment was unfeeling as hell. At worst, it was an deliberate attempt to steer attention yet again from anything to do with her business experience at WWE...the very experience that she\'s used as her qualifications to be the Republican noominee for US Senate in Connecticut. In other words, it\'s OK when said experience is a positive..but when it\'s being used for criticism, McMahon doesn\'t want to discuss it.
This and sadly, other deaths of current or former WWE talent that will likely occur between now and November will keep coming back to haunt her, especially if these deaths are again from young men and women in their 20s and 30s.

AS I SEE IT 8/158/17/2010 - AS I SEE IT Bob Magee Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets PWBTS.com Well, Vince McMahon undid his biggest mistake of the last year last night as Bryan Danielson returned to WWE as the seventh members that we all thought (yup, me too) would be HHH who would then turn on WWE as the head of The Nexus. More on that next week... It was back on August 18, 2005, that CZW wrestler Christopher \"Chri$ Ca$h\" Bauman Jr. was killed as the result of a motorcycle accident near his home. Bauman had been riding a motorcycle on Ellis Street in Glassboro, NJ when a Ford Taurus turned in front of it from Higgins Drive, striking the car on the driver\'s side of a vehicle driven by Daisy Gwin of Glassboro, NJ. Christopher J. Bauman Jr., 23, died at the scene, as did his cousin 27 year old Jeremy Bauman, 27, of Franklinville, NJ the driver of the motorcycle. Gwin, 68, of Glassboro, died en route to Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Washington Township, NJ. Chris was always genuinely friendly in a way that a lot of wrestlers aren\'t, but had the wild side we all had at age 23. He was a nice young man, in every sense that the phrase used to mean; and always felt obligated to call me \"Mr. Magee\" when I came to a show (even when I told him he didn\'t have to), would always say hello when I saw him at a CZW show and tell me he\'d seen something or another on my PWBTS.com site. Bauman worked for CZW from 2001 through 2005, with many non-CZW fans even taking notice of him at Cage of Death 5 in his absolutely psychotic ladder match with Blackout\'s Joker (who left the promotion shortly afterwards to serve in the US military over in Iraq). The oddest thing is that this match wasn\'t even supposed to happen in the way that it did; as it was originally scheduled as a tag team bout, involving Deranged and Azriael, who were working the Jersey All Pro Wrestling show in Rahway, NJ, then come down to Philadelphia for CZW. But in an almost unprecedented moment for those who know CZW... the show was actually running ahead of schedule. As a result, Deranged and Azriael were not yet at the building. Another version of the story had the two calling the building, telling CZW they were just leaving...and were told not to bother, because they\'d never make it in time. In any event, this forced the promotion to go ahead with a singles ladder match, which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened, as it made two stars for CZW in one night with Cash and Joker nearly stealing the entire show. Psycho spots in this match included Cash bulldogging Joker while his head was inside a rung of a ladder off the ropes onto a chair, a top rope superplex onto a ladder stuck at a 45 degree angle into the rungs of another ladder; ending with one of the sickest spots I\'ve ever seen in my years of shows at the ECW Arena, as Joker hit his Joker Driver (tiger driver from an electric chair position) off the top of a high ladder with Cash through a table for the pin. Cash also main evented Cage of Death 6/War Games, as part of the babyface Team Ca$h (Nate Webb, Sexxy Eddy, Cash, JC Bailey) against heel team (turned babyface and heel again) Blackout (Ruckus, Sabian, Kingston, and Jack Evans. As usual, the match featured the daredevil spots for which Cash was known throughout his all-too-short career; including dumping Jack Evans via backdrop off the COD to the floor, and giving Sabian a Cashflow off of the scaffold through four tables, landing in the second row of the ECW Arena. All I could think when I heard the news was: God...Chris was easily young enough to be my son. Sons aren\'t supposed to die before the parents...or their contemporaries. At the same time, I can\'t imagine Chris as a 40 or 50 year old. His spirit was too free and wild to have ever been anything but young. In Chris\'s memory, Combat Zone Wrestling will present \"Down with the Sickness\" Chris Ca$h Memorial Show on Friday, September 10.with an 8:00 pm belltime. One match has been announced for the show: an Aerial Assault ladder match with the returning Church Taylor, Ricochet and Facade among those scheduled. I\'ll have other matches for this show over the next few weeks. Until next time...
